Melbourne CBD robbery

Police are investigating after a man forced his way into a vehicle and robbed a man and woman in the Melbourne CBD last year.

Investigators from Melbourne Embona have been told an unknown man approached a man and woman who were sitting in their vehicle on Little Lonsdale Street about 10.20pm on 25 November.

The man reached into the vehicle in an attempt to open the door before threatening to shoot the pair if they didn't drive him to a location on Swanston Street.

He sat in the back of the car and continued to threaten the pair before demanding the victim's phone.

The man got out of the car near Franklin Street and was last seen fleeing across Victoria Street towards Swanston Street.

Investigators have released CCTV of a man who they believe can assist with their enquiries.

The man was perceived to be Caucasian in appearance and was wearing a distinctive red polo shirt.

Anyone who can identify the man or with any other information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or file a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
